How to automatically generate brand specific cabinet labels
GeneDavis replied to thomhu's topic in General Q & A
How does it handle the various ways to do 3-drawer bases? There are three drawers all same height. There are one shallow over two deep. And two shallow over one deep. -
Start at the top floor, go down.

Mr Google the AI bot directed me here, also. I get far better results chasing answers to Chieftalk topics using Google than the search here. -

Or turn off framing for doing renders. You really only need it for doing the framing parts of con docs.

Accurate Pricing for Certain Manufacturer's Cabinets

As you can see from Mark's reply, there is a lot to do to get to where the Chief documents can get used to build a cabinet order that is exactly right for the job, with everything built and arriving ready to install without errors. Are you the one placing orders for the Medallion cabinets? Can you describe how it's done now? Examine Mark's schedule, the second one, and the level of detail he's added in the remarks column. Are you doing this now for your projects? -
I didn't download your plan, but your pics don't show any elements of a floor frame, and rims are part of the floor frame. And of course, if your floor structure is a slab, there are no rims. So define the floor structure if it's wood framed, and reframe.

Top of plate to top chord top, at baseline (which you should always locate at main layer outside).

I got the no-posted-plan blues. Hey @h82fail, learn how to zip or shrink the plan file so it is under 15 bigs, then close Chief, and attach here to a post. If it's huge, it's likely so because it's full of symbols. Strip it of all save the structure. Windows and doors are OK. And where'd "fail" come from? Wouldn't you rather be a winner with this software?

I do wall art as a 3D solid and "paint" it (apply material) that is the image I want. These "pictures" won't display in Chief's 2D wall elevations, which default as vector views. Bob is showing you a standard view of a wall. Just change your view type from vector to standard.

Here's the one I did. Not sure how the woodgrain will work as I have not tried to import it. I only needed two woodgrain textures, the dark red oak from the library, and a copied version of it I rotated 45 degrees to make the arc segment of the door glass surround. Hybrid arch cab door.calibz

Here it is. Six separate parts, including the glass. And the cabinet with a pair of them.
-
The arch in the photo has no horizontal straight. The arc begins at the top and comes down to the side in tangency. A vertical stretch plane is of no use, which is why I said to model the door to the size needed and not rely on Y sizing.
-
The pair are pocket doors, BTW. Look closely at the image and you'll see the R door in the pocket, its knob plainly visible. Make each, a R and a L, in Chief using CAD or countertop tool to create a custom door in the exact size needed. It won't look good stretched or shrunk horizontally but will do OK vertically. Your biggest challenge will be to do the wood grain texture for the frame of the arch. Break up the surfaces as they are on the cab door in the photo, so you can apply separate textures to each. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOskWRVtps0&loop=0

@GawdziraI'll write the suggestion, but first would like some direction as re preference. Custom bevel rip at top? Custom plain square rip at top? Should square or beveled be box-checked? How to report on Material List? Next widest? What about bay blocking for truss framed roofs, and big tall heels?
